Legend of 1900

Rating: Null/10 (8 October 2011)

I am very hard to please in terms of movies and books.
A Thai colleague gave me a copy of this film that he found in a disposal type store and suggested I might enjoy.
He was very correct.How this film didn't make box office records and win major US awards has me baffled. The Director alone should have won it with the 'piano dancing' scene or the competition with Jelly Role Morton.
Photography was amazing, especially given much was in black & white.Music superb.
At a recent party I spoke to a English professor. When it got to the subject of greatest movie of all times, I expected the usual such as Shawshank Redemption, etc. When he mention "legend of 1900" I couldn't believe someone else shared my love of this film
I must watch out for this director in future
